“That’s not true! Onee-sama is very kind!” (Elene)
“Whoa!?” (Harold)
Elene, who had been timid until now, suddenly flared up, startling me into leaning back in surprise.
What is this? I was already surprised when she said she wanted to become friends, but for her to describe Lizette as ‘kind’? No, of course, I know that Lizette is actually a kind-hearted heroine. But how could Elene, who had been bullied by her, come to that conclusion?
“Onee-sama may say horrible things to me sometimes, but each time, she looked like she was about to cry! When I was being harassed by the servants, she would find some other reason to scold them and help me out! Please, stop calling my sister a ‘wicked woman’!” (Elene)
Ah, I see. If it’s Lizette, she might act like a wicked woman to help her sister. That said, I doubt Lizette herself even imagines that her sister thinks of her this way. Even if it was just an act, Lizette did bully Elene, so she probably believes her sister hates her.
“Ah…” (Elene)
“Your Highness Elene, thank you for understanding Her Highness Lizette.” (Harold)
Before I realized it, I had patted the head of this adorable second princess.
Uh-oh, maybe I went a little overboard, but…
“Eheheh…” (Elene)
Elene smiled shyly, seemingly pleased.
Looks like my worries were unnecessary.
“If that’s the case, then please let me help. I’m sure Her Highness Lizette cares deeply for you, Your Highness Elene.” (Harold)
“R-Really…?” (Elene)
“Yes. There’s no other princess as affectionate as her.” (Harold)
That’s right. She’s always wanted her family to notice her, but they never did. To the point where she even resorted to becoming a ‘wicked woman’ and failed at it. Whenever Xandra and I gave her attention, she’d be so happy and try her hardest to do everything she could for us. There’s no way she wouldn’t be happy to receive affection from her little sister.
“So, let’s go meet her right away. …Oh, and please keep it a secret that Cas can speak human language, okay? It’ll be our little secret.” (Harold)
“Y-Yes! It’s a secret between Your Highness Harold and me!” (Elene)
When I playfully pressed a finger to my lips, Elene nodded cheerfully.
I’ll have to give Cas a talking to later for wandering around like that.
—
“Your Highness Harold! You… You’re late…” (Lizette)
Lizette, who had been happily chatting with Xandra, noticed me and smiled, but her expression immediately clouded. She had noticed Elene hiding behind me.
“I apologize for being late. After my audience with King Salomon, I met Her Highness Elene and thought we might have tea together, so I invited her.” (Harold)
“Ah, um…” (Elene)
Still hesitant and unprepared, Elene looked confused. But I gently pushed her small back, making her step forward.
“Your Highness Elene. Feelings won’t be conveyed if you don’t put them into words.” (Harold)
“Y-Yes!” (Elene)
Even though I’m saying something so high and mighty, I wonder which part of me has any right to say that. I haven’t conveyed my own feelings either.
“Ah, um! Onee-sama, I would like to join you… too…” (Elene)
Her voice was so quiet it was almost inaudible, but Elene mustered up her courage to say it.
Now that the younger sister has done her part, it’s Lizette’s turn.
“H-Hmph! Having tea with someone like you would ruin the taste! Leave immediately…” (Lizette)
“Your Highness Lizette. Isn’t it time you stopped saying things like that?” (Alexandra)
“!?” (Lizette)
Xandra coldly pointed it out, and Lizette gasped.
As expected of my favorite fiancée. She understood the situation after just a few exchanges. Although, her eyes clearly said, “You’ll explain this to me later, won’t you?”.
“Onee-sama! Please… I’m begging you!” (Elene)
Elene deeply bowed her head, and Lizette looked confused.
Well then… maybe it’s time I lend a hand.
“Your Highness Lizette. Her Highness Elene says she wants to have tea with her kind, beloved sister. Now, it’s up to you.” (Harold)
“Ah…” (Lizette)
Ah, so Lizette really thought Elene hated her. Even I, who knew everything about ‘Enhaz’ in my previous life, never thought of that, so it’s no wonder she didn’t realize.
“S-So… you know that I’ve done terrible things to you, right?” (Lizette)
“No! Onee-sama has never done anything terrible to me! You’ve always cared about me! Otou-sama, Okaa-sama, and even Onii-sama, never looked at me, but you always did!” (Elene)
…How ironic. It’s one thing for Jean, but for King Salomon and Queen Paula to have never looked at either Lizette or Elene. When you think about it, Lizette, who pretended to bully her, was actually the one who always paid attention to Elene. So, unlike Lizette, who suffered, Elene was saved by that attention.
“Your Highness Lizette.” (Alexandra)
“W-Wait a minute…” (Lizette)
Xandra gently pushed Lizette, making her stand before Elene.
And then…
“Onee-sama! Onee-sama!” (Elene)
“Elene… You fool…” (Lizette)
Elene threw herself into Lizette’s chest, sobbing. Lizette, who caught her, also shed tears.
“To think you’d resolve something like this while Haru-sama was away. I didn’t expect it.” (Alexandra)
“It was purely by chance. Actually, the one who made this possible was Cas.” (Harold)
“Ahem!” (Casparleague)
Cas, who had been hiding in my chest, popped out and puffed his chest on my shoulder. Xandra and I shared a laugh at my proud little companion.
